QB Daniel Jones disagrees with the Giants’ decision to bench him and says he wants to play

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — With tears occasionally welling in his eyes, Daniel Jones disagreed on Thursday with the New York Giants’ decision to bench him earlier this week and perhaps end his five-plus tenure as the team’s quarterback. The 27-year-old Jones said he gave the team everything he had after being taken sixth overall in the 2019 draft and he believes he still has a future in the NFL. Coach Brian Daboll benched Jones on Monday after the Giants returned to practice following a bye week and 20-17 overtime loss to Carolina in Germany. 8, Jones indicated the Giants offered him the opportunity to walk away from the team with seven games left in the season.
